		<h2>jQuery Mobile Overview</h2>

		<p>jQuery’s mobile strategy can be summarized simply: A unified user interface system that works seamlessly across all popular mobile device platforms, built on the rock-solid jQuery and jQuery UI foundation. Focused on a lightweight codebase built on progressive enhancement with a flexible, easily themeable design.</p>

		<p>The critical difference with our approach is the <a href="platforms.html">wide variety of mobile platforms we’re targeting</a> with jQuery Mobile. We’ve been working hard at bringing jQuery support to all mobile browsers that are sufficiently-capable and have at least a nominal amount of market share. In this way, we’re treating mobile web browsers exactly how we treat desktop web browsers.</p>
		
		<p>To make this broad support possible, all pages in jQuery Mobile are built on a foundation of <strong>clean, semantic HTML</strong> to ensure compatibility with pretty much any web-enabled device. In devices that interpret CSS and JavaScript, jQuery Mobile applies <strong>progressive enhancement techniques</strong> to unobtrusively transform the semantic page into a rich, interactive experience that leverages the power of jQuery and CSS. <strong>Accessibility features</strong> such as WAI-ARIA are tightly integrated throughout the framework to provide support for screen readers and other assistive technologies.</p>
